What is the difference between a full blown codependent and someone who has "codependent tendencies"? How do you tell which one is which?

I'm sorry for the suffering you are currently going through. They are really dark times and it's not helpful when your WS is not forthcoming, truthful or remorseful.

Why not have her take a polygraph? Why not make this a requirement for R.

I agree with OIN that you are not seeing your WS for who she is. It takes time to see this though. I would suggest detaching and focusing on getting yourself strong and then evaluate the M again.

I keep telling myself I’m too weak and too this and too much a wuss.

Change your self talk. You can't make another person do anything.

The only person you can change is yourself.
